Health Update

had my annual CAT scan and my semi-annual visit with my lymphoma oncologist Dr. Zelenetz last week, at Sloan Kettering.

CAT scan was "pristine" and everything else seems fine. Bloodwork has a few odd things, but that's been the case since my chemotherapy ended in january, 2006 (Six years ago! Hard to believe!!).  Probably due to the chemo and nothing to be concerned about. Or so he says – of course it's my bloodwork not his!

The thing that is irritating – I've gained almost nine pounds since my last visit, in September, 2011. I'm sure I gained all the weight since Thanksgiving. Very annoying – I am in the gym five or six days a week, but my downfall is my seefood diet (I see food, I eat it). 

I'd love to lose 15 pounds, but that is over 52,000 calories. YIKES!

  1. Tom, pristine is good!
    Thank God!!!

  2. Glad to hear you’re pristine. Maybe you gained 9 lbs of muscle from weightlifting with Tim. I’m sure he inspires you to keep up.

  3. I can gain 9 pounds in a weekend, big deal.

    Maria, it’s possible – a pound or two – but I seem to have a muscle growing around my belly button.
